I've tried the variations I can think of---putting the line:
install net-pf-10 /bin/true
in /lib/modules/modprobe.conf via update-modules, or directly by hand-editing. Then depmod; then reboot. Also:
install net-pf-10-* /bin/true install net-pf-* /bin/true
All variations still lead to:
Jan 31 23:08:01 ohlone kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256 Jan 31 23:23:01 ohlone kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
on each run of exim from cron (Debian exim has ipv6 support compiled in). If I run modprobe manually, I get:
ohlone# modprobe net-pf-10 FATAL: Module ipv6 not found.
indicating that modprobe knows about the alias, but is not running /bin/true when requested to load the module.
However: if I manually edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases (which you're not supposed to do), so as to comment out:
# alias net-pf-10 ipv6
and then add:
install ipv6 /bin/true
(update-modules; depmod; reboot), `modprobe ipv6' from the command-line completes silently and without error (but without loading the module, of course, since it doesn't exist). Which I think is the expected behaviour.
But even at that point, in the logs we still get:
Feb 1 00:53:01 ohlone /USR/SBIN/CRON[280]: (mail) CMD ( if [ -x /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -a -f /etc/exim/exim.conf ]; then /usr/lib/exim/exim3 -q ; fi) Feb 1 00:53:01 ohlone kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256
(because exim is trying to load the module under the name net-pf-10??)
Here are some pointers to what seems to be the same or a similar problem:

Oh well, it is a very small problem (all it does is clutter the log-files). Thanks very much to all who helped,
